Anyway I look forward to playing trains at Andy's house when it's finished.

Hey hey hey, Andy designed the trackwork, I just added details... ROFL.

I look forward to going too hint hint

if I can get up there some time...

yep, mainly because
llow budget

only have 7 weeks to get as much done as possible then its collage

dad wouldnt move the old layout, so i am just building a single line around the outside of it.

but the bit in the middle might not happen.

I am going with Andy's latest plan as it's a easier plan to do and its going to be possible to get some of it built during this summer. Track ordered from TrackShack and received on Saturday, timber ordered and due to come on Wednesday so hopefully we can then steam ahead with it.

Today dad and i put up the scafhold tower to cut the top of the hedge before we put the railway there, once its there, it may never be cut again.

dad up the tower

from the top of the tower

the dog also helped by......squashing down some hedge, and playing with a log.

she also found somthing in the dirt, no idea what, but she liked it.

digging

all the wood for phase 1

then in the evening i set about putting some treatment on the board, which i shal continue tomorrow.
hopefully mroe work will take place at the weekend
